I'm just over five feet. And while I wouldn't say that I'm heavy, the word "skinny" doesn't come to mind when describing myself either. Aren't skinny jeans really just for truly skinny people?

I dont think that people above a size 14 should wear skinny jeans...... I'm not trying to be mean.. it's just that its not flattering on some people. i also dont think skinny jeans should be worn by size 00's because it makes them look like toothpicks. I also think that people who are reading this shouldnt listen to me because everyone is beautiful just the way they are.... I am a size 4 and relatively short for my age(14) and i think i look pretty good in skinny jeans, just have confidence. people with confidence make those stupid people who judge you scare. They also would want to be like you. so all power to you!
i think forever 21 has good skinny jeans im a size 5 at most stores a size 7 or a size 3 depends on how their made im 14 btw
I think skinny jeans can look great on a lot of people! If you're not so confident about your body, you might want to wear skinny jeans in a dark wash because it's slimming. Typically, light washes arent flattering unless you're 5'10" and 115 lbs anyways! lol. So dark washes are a must as well as the fit. You don't want to wear a pair of jeans if they are digging into your insides and creating a muffin top. Make sure the size is right as well and maybe a couple inches longer for a lengthening effect. Also, Earnest Sewn has now made a slimming skinny jeans where the seams have been brought a bit more forward for a leaner look. Another thing you might think about is the top! Definitely a looser top, maybe some billowy blouses with a blazer, the possibilities are endless! If you look in the mirror and feel good about yourself, then thats all that matters!
personally skinny jeans look best on petites,and woman and girls sizes 0-10 depending on height and body type. be honest with yourself just cuz it looks good on her doesn't mean it will look good on you. I'm plus size and I know skinny jeans would only draw more attention to what I'm trying to hide. it's more than confidence it truth and reality.ask yourself HOW DO I REALLY LOOK?
i dont like people wearing whatever and get fake compliments from their friends its just not right. if you really care for your friends you should say it up front how ones lookin' or just don't complement at all they'll get the hint. skinny jeans doesnt look good on everyone. it depends what kinda legs you've got. if you are a medium or large wear a long shirt on top it can be sleeveless or low neck this will compliment rest of you body. i gain and lose weight. whenever i gain weight from my tighs skinny jeans look horrible on me with short shirt.so i think girls with medium to large bods shud wear long shirts with skinny jeans
This is a tough one because i have seen some ladies look absolutely adorable in skinnies that were bigger than me i am 5'8'' and a size four with no hips just a booty and they make me look silly. you can tell what looks best on you--if you are hellbent on wearing skinny jeans try on all the pairs you can until one looks good!
I think it really depends what brand you find. I'm a size 10 (5'4") and personally found a pair of DKNY skinny jeans that look fab on me. However, I've also tried other brands that looked horrible. Shop around and you might find a pair that looks great on you
Ennie, I think that you nailed it. My sister is about the same height and weight as I am, but her legs are longer. Leggings look great on her, and I'm guessing that skinny jeans would, too. It sounds like you and I have similar figures. Slim, low-rise bootcuts have done wonders for my look (especially paired with high wedges or heels and a hem that almost touches the floor), and I think that I'll stick with it.
That said, I think that logicalharmony's comment about wearing styles with confidence is valid. No matter what you wear (and what size), if you feel hot and sexy, it shows.
I don't think the matter is of skinny or not skinny...it has far more to do with the angles and proportions. They are good for girls who don't have a lot of hip or butt going on and they wish they did. Also works best on girls who have proportionally long legs. (I said it that way on purpose...you can be short and have legs that are proportionally long). Skinny jeans will make no hips or butt look like cute hips & butt, and they will enhance long legs. Girls with short legs like me look stumpy in skinny jeans. I'm also an hourglass shape, so they make my hips look unusually large. I lean towards a slim-fitted boot cut to get the most of my body. So as with ANY style of clothing, do not look at your size, look at your shape :-) OH. And the person who mentioned the sizes 8 and 10 in the context of being "not skinny"? That's pretty shocking to me.
Yeah, I'll probably stick with bootcuts, which I know look good.
i think only hot and skinny girls like me can wear them unlike u
Hmm...maybe you're right. Thanks for the input.
I don't think so at all! I think that everyone can look great in them. I have a co-worker who is a size 8 or 10 and she looks amazing in them! All you need to pull of skinny jeans, or any other item, is confidence!
